Dear Sir:—Please announce that I

Truly Yours, <fcc.,

Emory Speer.
TO TIIE DEMOCRACY OF CLARKE COUN
TY IN 1872.
In the spring of 1872, Dr. M. S.
Durham, was the regular nominee of
the Democratic party of Clarke coun<
ty, to represent th^feApin the lower
branch of the 'tifcuTral Assembly.
Mr. Robot Lampkin, with perhaps
quite as good, if not more plausible
reasons than induces the candidacy of
most independents, opposed Dr.
Durham as the Democratic nominee.
Mr. Emory Speer, then the honored
President of the Democratic Club of
Alliens, issued the following address
to the Democratic voters of the coun
ty, 300 copies of which were printed
for distribution.
•* Thu Democratic Club of Athens,”
in view of the fact that they are an
organized body of Democrats, deem
it right and proper that they express
their earnest wish that no man who
claims to be a Democrat will east his
vote in the coining election fur any
man save the nominee of the party.
Such ill-advised voting lias defeated
the Democracy of the county hereto
fore, and that man, who, contrary to
the wishes ol the people, will insision
opposing the nominee is]a disorganizer
and no lriead to the success cf Dem
ocrat ic principles- There are but two
parties, the Democrats ,nd Radicals
—and one who opposes the Demo
crats, furthers the cause of Radicalism.
It does not matter whether this be
inteiilioi ul or not, the disastrous re
sult is none the less certain. \Vc then
would most respectfully beg that the
Democracy will on.ihe day of election
ccine to ,lhc p dls eu matte, and by
a solid vote for Durham, the nominee
elect a Representative of the peoples
choice and rebuke the presumption of
those who, while they call themselves
Democrats wl against our everv in
terest.'’
Mr. Emory Sped as all know, is
uow a candidate liefore the people of
the bill Congressional Distric, to
represent them in the 4Uili Congress,
independent, of all party organization,
all party rule* atnlall ^J»rty principles,
and yet he claims to he p good 'Demo
crat, and expresses indignation at
being termed a disorganizer, or so
acting as to further the cause of Radi
calism. Radicalism is not dead, nor
sleepeth, and the impertance of maia-
tainiog organization iu the Democrat
ic party is just as great iu 1878 as it
was in 1872.
Emory Spexr in 1872, loudly,
most patriotically, and most respect
fully begged, "that the Democracy
would on the day of eleetion, come to
the polls en masse, and by • solid
vote for the nominee, elect a Repre
sentative of the people's choke, and
rebuke the presumption of thoee who,
while they call themselves Democrats,
do, (by offering themselves as Inde
pendent candidates against the nomi
nee, of the party) act.against our
every interest”
Now Democratic voters of the 9th
Congressional District, after Emory
has so earnestly entreated the people
as true Democrats to turn outen masse
and by the election of the regular
nominee of the party, sustain true,
Jeffersonian Democracy, for the de
feat and overthrow of Radicalism, the
greatest political curse and oppression
a free and liberty-loving people ever
felt or endured, we ask, are you going
to sustain those wicked, so-called
friends of Mr. Speer s who, merely to
gratify their personal, vaulting ambi
tion so wickedly, so ruinously, want to
make him feel the chagrin and morti
fication of political defeat on the 5th
of November next.
Shame upon you wicked, cruel, selfish,
ambitious, political ruioists, while Uie
people cry aloud for Billups. If noth,
ing else will, 4.00U majority for the
nominee on the 5lh of November
next will make you hunt your holes.
Mr. Speer can no

Emory Surer in 1872 said, “ The
Democratic Club of Athens ” iu view
of the taut that they are an organised
body ol Democrats, deem it right and
proper that they express their earnest
wish that no man who claims to he a
Democrat will cast his vote iu the
coming election for any man save the
nominee of the party." Now just
to thiuk that soma who claim to be
Emory’s friends, do him the gross in
justice to say that he has gone liack
ou his principles of 1872, aud uow de
sires that all meu, he they Democrats
or of whatever political ]H>rsuosion,
will cast their votes against the nomi
nee of the Gainesville Convention.
Shame upon such frieddsliip.
Emory Speer in 1872 said : “Such
ill-advised voting, (as voting against
the uomineo of the party) has defeated
the Democracy of the country hereto
fore, and that man who, contrary to
the wishes of the people, will insist on
opposing the uoiuinee, is a disorgani
zer, and no friend to the success o
Democratic principles. There are but
two parties, the Democratic and Rad
ical, and, one who opposes the
Democrats furthers the cause of Rad
icalism.^ In view of such pure, true
and south] (Democratic utterances on
the part of Emory then, how unkind,
how exceedingly unjust on the part of
these who would now accuse him o
being a disorganizer, aiding and abet
ting Radicalism, and untrue to Demo
cratic principles. Shame upon such
traducers.
A Mistake, I Hope.
Mr. Emory Speer, iu an interview
with a Reporter of the Augusta
Chronicle ou the 22d iust., is reported
as follows:
Reporter—Uow do Mr. Kell’* frieinl* vtaad
in t)>m campaigu t
Mr. Speer—Nearly nil ol* Mr. Bel?* friends
are for me. 1 was introduced to sn audience
at Camming, Forsyth comity, by Mr. Bell'*
s.u. lli* Iriends nre very indignant at the way
in whiah be w*s treated in the Convention and
nre iudepently inclined any way.
Rejiorter—llow will Dr. Carlton’* friend*
vote.
Mr. S|»ccr—A great many of Dr. Carltou’a
friend* are lor me. He had a nt'oug following
umoug the working m#n of Chuke county and
they are a 1 for me.
As for Mr. Bell’s friends I cannot
sjH-uk, hut do not believe they incline
politically a- Mr. Speer thinks and as
serts. As for my friends, 1 think I
can, and have a right to speak. While,
doubtless, some were induced to my
support from strong personal friend
ship, yet this friendship was of that
true, genuine kind which could aud
will l>e readily subordinated to the
best interest of the jiarty anil the
country. Then, I may safely say the
advocacy of my friends was based
largely, if not mainly, upon the be
lief. yea, even the fact, that I was a
true, organized Democrat That I
had spent the past five or six years of
! my life in advocacy of true Demo
cratic principles and the maintenance
of thorough party organization, aud
would cheerfully, patriotically and as a
true democrat, abide the uction of
those representatives of the Demo
cratic party in whose ttapds I had en
trusted my irjerest, an* not like Mr.
lervep i
this ncble work, witnessing on all
hands the good results thereof, desert
the Democratic household merely be
cause my political aspirations may
have been disappointed. In this they
mistook not their man. And I be
lieve, yes, in justice to such true, pa
triotic and Democratic friends, I will
say, I know, they, to a man, stand
with me to-day in the support of the
nominee of the Gainesville Conven
tion, and will, ou the 5th of Novem
ber next, vote solidly with me for Col.
Joel Abbott Billups.
As to the friends af Col. Bell I have
already said I did not believe they
were inclined to be untrue to their
party faith. If in this I should be
mistaken and Mr. Speer right, then I
would most earnestly entreat them, in
behalf of true Democracy and the
country’s best interest, that notwith
standing their disappointment in not
obtaining the nomination of their
chosen candidate, that they unite sol
idly with my iriends in achieving a
glorious and overwhelming victory for
the grand old Democratic* party, by
the election of Col Billups, the regu
lar nomiuee, on the 5th of November
next.
H. H. Carlton.
Toombs on Speer.
Gen Toombs, to a : recent interview
with a Constitution Reporter, said in
substance, “Speer’s activity would not
win, while Billups* leisurely roetbod
would prove successful.” Sf • f
The old General’s ideas of states
manship are not yc-t on the wane. Ac
tivity as politically considered by Mr.
Toombs, means merely, gushing, am
bitious, ephemerous—a sort of hur
rah boys style of trying to get in;
while leisure method so considered,
simply means a steady, discreet, wise,
statesmanlike view of the country’s
best interest which gives sure founda
tion oi success. Toombs is right.
Billups will triumph with the steady
wave, while Speer will go under be
neath a brilliant, dishing foam—a
kinder rainbow reflecting bubble.
“Consistency, Tliou Art a
Jewell.”
Previous to the Congressional nom
inating Convention in the 7th District
the Southern Watchman, alias Enx-
ory Speer, opposed nominating Con
ventions, because, he says, the nomi
nee is usually chosen by a few active
politicians in the different counties,
.p Tb . BalToTtha
gates instructed to vote for their man.
He now opposes Mr. Billups, the nom
inee of that Convention, because he
was not thus chosen. He makes that
the precise ground of objection. For
proof of this see any recent issue of
that paper. On the 13th inst. it con
tained the fuilowipg:

lation from Mr. Stephens. Hear Mr. power, lint with the motto, ''Hirst

as. with Beasts at Ephesus — having
fought the good fight, around about
unto Illyrieum, at last he joyfully
shouts over the glory of those who
kept the faith—even of whom the
world was not worthy—because “they
turned to flight the armies of the
aliens!” * »
We have about vanquished the Re

their heathen rage; and as returns

The country’s greatest danger now
is from the disbandment of the Radi-
ical party in the South. It is pro\ ed
almost impossible to stop the bes mi

Recall Mr. Speer’s former vehement
opposition to nominations. Then
read what is here said. Who can but
pity the desperation which makes such
miserable objections.
It Is Not So.
From the Atlanta Republican of the
21st., inst., we extract the following:
Marshal Fitzsimmons is iu line with
Alex Stephens, andjit will be no fault
of his if every district in Georgia this
year has not an able liberal independ
ent representative of the better ele
ment of the democratic pnrty of the
State iu the field and we receive as-
surrances that the whole influence of
the office will be exerted wtb secure the
fairest elections. v ^
That Marshal Fitzsimmons is in
line with Mr. Stephens as a true Dem
ocrat, there is no doubt. Col. Fitz
simmons besides having a high admi
ration for Mr. Stephens, both us a
statesman and a true democrat, owes
his appointment in a large degree to
him, and should have strong personal
feelings tor him. But the statement
that the influence of himself, his office,

Speer, after living serv^l a time in 'cuts, or any other kind of candidates,
we unhesitatingly pronounce false.

with a warm reception.

Infernal Political Hybridizing
Editor Banner:—Put it before
the people, that the present editor of
the |taper before edited politically by
Emory Speer, in his therein printed
report of the Gainesville speech of his
said “ champion,” draws and reflects
consistently the following conclusion:
“ Theretore, it is best that the two
parties should unite upon soma man.
lie should go—if he goes at all [1] —
by the majority of tue whole District.
Thus will he be better prepared to
the monstrous hybridizing—the sod'
omy! There is no p ace, soith my
God, to such wickednes-c It is ever,
even at lowest ebb, a raging caldron
on the pattern of Macbeth’s fate —
“ Double 7 double 7 Toil aud trouble ! '*

trying to “get the negro vote ”—try-

Comfort.
Mr. Speer denies that t'.e Indepen-
dant move gives comfort to our radical
enemies. Hear what the Atlanta Re
publican, a radical sheet, of August
21st has to say : "Rut in the present
weakened and dispirited jcondition
of our own “forcesabout all we can
do in Georgia, is to encourage the
itidependent movement that is surely
disintegrating the solid white vote of
the State, and that promises speedily
to give us the balance of power. Our
support will be sought, and we shaU
be able to exact honest terms from
those seeking it, and in part recover
what we have lost in ten years."
Emory Speer, in 1872, said: “It
does not matter whether this, (the op
position to Democracy by voting
against the nominee of the party) be
intentional or not, the disastrous re
sult is none the less certain, viz: (fur
thering the cause of Radicalism.’’
Fellow citizens, Democrats of the 9th
Congressional District, we ask you,
when Emory, in 1872, so truthfully,
so patriotically antagonized that op
position to true Democracy which fur
thers Radicalism, and which comes
wither of intentional “independent-
ism,” or not, if it is just, fair, patri
otic or in any way to the best interest
of ihe country, to agree with those in
discreet, unwise and unkind friend* of
Mr. Speer who now seek to plaoe him
to *o fijlse and unpatriotic a position
before the people? Shame upon such
•vil spirited men.
Something for Mr. Speer to
put iu His Pipe and Smoke.

regular nominee of the Democratic
party.
Democrats, even those of you wh«
are disposed to waiver under the glit-
it riug and captivating arguments of
Mr. Speer against the organised, don’t
be dec* ived by any such gullery. The
fact is Mr. Speer, can only succeed by
organizing, and he i* the most active
organiser in the district, but on the
wrong line.
A Washington Correspondent to
the Balimore Sun says: “The Repub
lican ‘Congressional’ Campaign Com
mittee at Washington, is continually in
receipt of letters jtosting the commits
tee as to jtolitics in the Southern
States. From information received
to the plentiful crops of Indejten-
dents, growing out of ambitions and
diBiipjiointed office seekers, strong hope
is entertained by the Republican man
agers of making a break in the solid
South. Therefore both brains and
money will be actively- employed from
this centre to induce the running of
indejtendent candidates in all districts
in the Southern States, where there is
any reasonable grounto.exjiect suc

4be fact that in a majority of instances,
at least, the gentlemen who may ran as
Independents will, in the event of
tbeir election, act with the Democrats,
bnt the calculation is th.-ri here aud
there a Republican in disguise may
slip in.”
President Hayes wanted Judge
Longworth of Cincinnati, to accept the
Republican nomination lor Cuugress,
from the first district of Ohio, in
order to keep Milt Saylsr,
the Democratic nominee out of Con
gress. But alus! there were no
returning boards in that district, and
tbe President and the J udge had to
give up the job.
But he who was “much more than
a prophet, Jesus of Nazareth, de
clares : “Ye cannot serve God and
Mammon.* 1 Verily, no ntaa can
serve the Right in politics whose mo
tive if not jterson is iu negro rallies,
that bear ever when they dare, with
leaders “independent” enough, as in
Charleston during the Presidential
canvass, transparencies representing
our mothers, wives, sisters; daughters,
and even our little girls suppliant and
debased at tbe feet of negro bullies—
ay, white women with negro babies in
their arms. Fiends! “Are there no
stones in the heavens but what serve
for the thunder “No jtower on high
to shield the brave?” Yea, Heaven
forfends ! Lo, Sennacherib’s ghastly

In the mightiest and most success
ful reformation of the world was set
the test: “He that is not for tne is
against roe; and h - th.it gathereth
not with me scattered! abroad.” It
must ever be the test of Christianity,
and of common sense. Can men be
with us who give aid and comfort to
that enemy which, had it strength
now, would continue its thirteen years
of reconstruction cruelty, and crush
us in the dust forever; and shall we by
uniting with it lift it out of the mire,
feed it to ferocity, and arm it again
with death ? Even are they wise and
patriotic supftorters of constitutional
representative Government who would
in any cause seek to rally negroes at the
polls ? Never on earth was there a
mass of voteis so utterly igitoi
indifferent; and all repu
tions have fallen and become extiuct
by their control drifting into indiffer
ent ignorance, or being thereby bar
gained for or seized by scheming am
bition.

When there are but two political
pei ties iu the country, Democrats and
Radicals, and a congressional aspirant
declares bimtelf a candidate indepead
entof the Democratic party, then to
which party doss he belong ? or which
party has the right to claim hiin?
That’s the question.
Who is the nominee of tbe Indepen
dent party of the 9th Congreraional

But tlio “ vengeance of the Lord ”

How faint is my emphasis against j>o-

Even half-way things are despi
cable. In Revelations the Spirit
thus speaks to the churches: “ I know
thy ‘ works * that tliou art neither cold
nor hot, so then because thou art luke
warm, and neither cold nor hot, I will
spew thee out of my mouth ! ’’ So let
the Democratic party—the same old
fire-wall of Liberty from the Revolu
tion till now—keep aloof from any
compromising half-and-half policy.
An ounce of this prevention is bet
